These are the final submissions for the first Times Herald Gingerbread Decorating Contest. Each department — Editorial, Advertising, Circulation and Administration — was given a starting kit for their gingerbread house and had a week to decorate it. Now that each entry has been submitted, it’s YOUR turn to vote for the best one!

To vote for your favorite gingerbread house, visit the album on our Facebook page and like the photo. If you’re not a Facebook user, leave a comment on this story with the department’s you like best.

You’ll have a week to vote for your favorite gingerbread house and the winner will be announced at our holiday party on Dec. 13.
